Editor that requires exclusive write-access fails to work with snaketail about snaketail-net

If the editor requires exclusive access to the file when writing. Then it will 
fail.

If you try using a real editor like Windows Notepad, then you will see it saves 
just fine :)

I guess one day I will create a special log-reader that opens/Closes the file 
constantly and allowing weird applications to get exclusive access to the file.

Hi,

yes, you are right, with notepad or notepad++ the same test works fine. Of 
course I used PSPad only for testing and it was coincidence that I used PSPad 
to reproduce the EA problem. My main target is to monitor log files from 
Enterprise Architect during project transferee what didn’t work when I tried 
it but of course I could expect that you have an EA installed..
I tried Tail for Win and did the same test and it worked fine, what brought me 
to the assumption that it may be a snake tail problem. Of course I do not 
exactly know what tail for win is doing there. There seems not to be any 
abilities for configuration and I didn't check the source.

Cheers,

Guido
